Frequently Asked Questions
Are some roads more prone to rollover crashes than others?
Yes. Rollovers tend to happen more frequently at intersections, on curves, and on roads where a vehicle can be struck from the side or forced off the pavement at speed.
What injuries typically result from a rollover crash?
Common injuries include head and neck trauma, broken bones, and injuries from being thrown against the roof or window of the vehicle, especially if the occupant is not properly restrained.
What usually causes a vehicle to roll over?
A rollover can start when a vehicle is hit from the side, swerves sharply, or leaves the roadway and its tires catch an edge or soft shoulder, causing it to tip.
Why do rollover crashes usually result in serious injury?
When a vehicle rolls, occupants can be thrown around the cabin multiple times before it comes to rest, which raises the chance of significant injury compared to a single impact.
